Pleasure Division
Pleasure Divisional Awards
The point total achieved from five Classes within a division are used to determine the Pleasure Divisional Award. The turnout with the highest score within the division becomes champion and the second highest score within a division becomes reserve champion.
The five classes within each Pleasure Division include:
- Turnout
- Working
- Reinsmanship
- Fault and Out Obstacle
- Timed Obstacle
The points awarded for each class are determined according to the placing and the number of people in a class.
- If five or more competitors in a class then 7pts for 1st, 5pts for 2nd, 3pts for 3rd, 2pts for 4th and 1pt for 5th.
- If less than 5 competitors in a class points are pro-rated according to the number of competitors eg. If 3 competitors then 3pts for 1st, 2pts for 2nd and 1pt for third.
- In the case of a tie on total points, the tie for championship placings will be broken by the Competitor’s placing in the Turnout Class of that Division.
